Force Behavior of Parallel Double Coupling Beams with Different Width

Abstract:

The force behavior of parallel double coupling beams (PDCB) with different width is analyzed, based on which the feasibility of this kind of beams is discussed. The loading process of the PDCB is simulated by using finite element software ABAQUS. By analyzing the hysteretic loops, skeleton curves, energy dissipation coefficient, equivalent viscous damping coefficient and ductility coefficient,the bearing capacity and seismic performance of the PDCB is studied. Through simulation, it shows that the hysteretic loops is plump, and the energy dissipation coefficient, equivalent viscous damping coefficient and ductility coefficient of this double beams is high. It can be concluded that the PDCB has good force behavior, and the beams of PDCB can work in coordination.
